How do you change the starter on 1999 CRV?

You can change it from the top (unlike a chevy). You first have to remove the air cleaner cover. Then the whole air delivery system (the black plastic parts). To do this you loosen the worm clamp which holds the air system to the intake manifold, pull it off the manifold, and take the little hose off (in that area) also. Then you have to remove a bolt behind the air cleaner box. The air box is held down in the front by a plastic plug. You may really have to tug on that front connection to get it off. Once you pull that mess out, you can see the starter to remove it. Make sure that you disconnect the + terminal from the battery before disconnecting the starter wiring. The connector on the bottom left of the starter can be a buggar to pull off, too -- just wiggle & groan a little. You should be able to figure it out, now that you can see the bolts which hold it on.
